<p><strong>HS2 will transform the UK economy with construction supporting up to 30,000
new jobs, as set out in the HS2 Skills, Employment and Education Strategy, launched
last month. 70 percent of construction jobs supported over the entire HS2 programme
will be outside of London. It will directly link 8 of the UK’s 10 largest cities and
provide a step change in the country’s railway capacity. </strong></p>

<p>Budget 2018 announced Our Plan for the High Street, which will provide £1.5bn to
support high streets as they adapt to meet the changing needs of shoppers.</p><p>
</p><p>The Plan includes a £675m Future High Streets Fund, planning reform, a High
Streets Taskforce and support for community assets.</p><p> </p><p>It also includes
one third off small retailers’ business rates bills for two years from April. [This
is worth almost £900m to businesses.]</p>

<p>During the five financial years 2005/6 to 2009/10, the Department for Transport
(DfT) provided funding for cycling through Cycling England, an arm's length organisation
set up in 2005; in that period, Cycling England received £105m from the DfT.</p><p>
</p><p>During the five financial years 2010/11 to 2014/15, the DfT allocated a final
£63m to Cycling England, and has allocated direct funding of £224m for cycling projects,
comprising: the £94m Cycling Cities and National Parks fund, £28.5m for Links to Schools
/ Linking Communities, the £35m cycle safety fund, £14.5m for Cycle Rail, £4.8m to
the Highways Agency and £46.8m for Bikeability. In addition, the DfT's Local Sustainable
Transport Fund is providing £540m for local authorities to prioritise sustainable
transport projects, of which 28% or £151m is being allocated to cycling projects.
So total investment by this government in cycling in the five financial years 2010/11
to 2014/15 is £438m.</p><p> </p><p>DfT funding for the LSTF and its Cycling Ambition,
Cycle-Rail, and Linking Communities funds is often used to lever matching local contributions.
When these other sources are included, spend on cycling in England is equal to £5
per person a year, whilst spend in the eight cycling ambition cities is around £10
per person a year. From 2015/16, the LSTF forms part of the Local Growth Fund, a long-term
funding commitment of £2bn a year.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will bring
forward legislative proposals to provide for local authorities who do not produce
a local plan to be placed in special measures.

<p>Plan making has significantly improved under this Government. 81% of local planning
authorities have at least published their plan and 63% of local planning authorities
now have an adopted local plan in place (compared to 17% in 2010).</p><p> </p><p>The
Localism Act has strengthened the role of Local Plans, allowing local councils – in
consultation with local residents – to draw up plans and determine where new development
should and should not go. Paragraph 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework already
provides a very strong incentive for councils to have a Local Plan in place. I am
aware that the Labour Party's Lyons Review proposed that sanctions should be imposed
against councils without a Local Plan and that the Secretary of State should direct
the Planning Inspectorate to produce a Local Plan in place of the Council. However,
I believe that proposal is excessively centralising, and would be an unpalatable re-creation
of the top-down planning regime that we abolished in the Localism Act.</p><p> </p><p>Drawing
up a Local Plan can be challenging – it involves trade-offs and hard choices, and
there is no longer Regional Planning Guidance or Regional Spatial Strategy imposed
from above to hide behind and blame. But it is our preference for this to be a locally-led
process.</p><p> </p><p><br><br>The Government has supported local authorities in their
Plan making by funding the Planning Advisory Service; the Planning Inspectorate; and
senior retired Planning Inspectors to help bring forward sound Local Plans.</p><p>
</p><p>This Government introduced neighbourhood planning which offers an unprecedented
opportunity for communities to develop plans with statutory force. Over 1,400 communities,
representing around 6 million people in England, have now applied for a neighbourhood
area to be designated and 59 successful referendums on neighbourhood plans have been
held. The Government is committed to supporting communities throughout the process
and encouraging more communities to join them. The Government recently announced a
new support contract worth £22.5 million, which will begin in April 2015 and last
until 2018.</p>
